How to add 2 lower thirds with opposite entry sides

Report · Jul 28, 2019

Hi,

I regularly have to create videos that feature 2 people at the same time and I'm wondering how I can use the lower thirds in Essential Graphics to do this? I can only seem to have them enter from the left hand side, when I need one from the left and one from the right.

Thank you

You create motion in from top, bottom, or either side the same method. Start off-frame using ECP motion controls for that graphic, keyframe it in.

It helps to shrink the program monitor via controls in lower left, so you have plenty of off-screen space to start your graphics in.

Although sometimes it's easier to start well into the clip, and create the graphics onscreen, then keyframe it off screen as you back up.

It depends on where those mogrts were created, if inside After Effects,

you will need to open them in After Effects and adjust the keyframes there.

if created in Premiere Pro, when dropping the mogrt into the timeline, click

on it and all the animation keyframes will be revealed in the Effect Controls panel,

you will have to adjust them from there. so go to the first position keyframe, which

is the in point, and change it from left to right or the reverse. this will change the

in point to the new position you set. But if the animation is much more complex,

you will have to send us screenshots of the effect controls panel when you select

the mogrt, to see how the keyframes are structured.
